WW2 German M34 Artillery Cap 1937- Name Tag To Kanonier In 24th Artillery Regt.

A heavily worn & torn 'straight from the woodwork' originally badged M34 sidecap red piped for Artillery & with 1937 date to inside lining.
Unlike the few examples that do turn up today , this piece still has its originally sewn on insignia with the scarcer early white on field grey machine woven backing that predated the dark green backing most often seen. The soutache branch piping is that of artillery , this being correctly placed & totally original to the cap. Side skirts have the distinct pointed angle of the earliest of caps with the much talked about segmented ventilation grommets to either side.
Faint black ink markings are still visible to inside with the faint '55' size marking & faint maker details. A soldiers name tag is sewn to the crown of the cap this giving the rank of a 'Kanonier' in the '1st Batterie, Artillery Regiment 24'.
A worn cap with some fraying to bottom edge on one side.
